  1. So I got the Chapter 22 question to which states,
  2. um that I have to explain the actual impact of
  3. reconstruction in the South, and I have to give specific
  4. attention to the limitations of the Republican governments and the
  5. Friedman bureaus, especially in altering fundamental economic and social changes.
  6. So the North, after the Civil War, really wanted to
  7. impose many restrictions on the South because of it.
  8. And this would eventually to the south, going into an
  9. economic and social downward spiral.
  10. So the reasons air listed over here, and we'll first
  11. start with the black kids, the black codes, eso.
  12. At the time, the South was highly dependent on having
  13. slavery farm to bring in money to the economy.
  14. It was after the 13th Amendment, the South economy crippled
  15. at the hands of the North's heavy restrictions, one being
  16. the black, the black codes, which were designed to regulate
  17. the affairs of emancipated blacks.
  18. The blacks would work for lower wages for X amount
  19. of years, and they couldn't voter served on the jury
  20. all although it may seem bad still, for the former
  21. slaves, this would make the once previous owners of them
  22. have to pay for their cut service is which crippled
  23. the southern economy.
  24. Next we have the passing of the amendment.
  25. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery in total.
  26. The 14th Amendment gave the former slaves their citizenship.
  27. The 15th Amendment gave former slaves the right to vote
  28. social impact.
  29. This'll was a social impact because there were no more
  30. slaves and they could change the election.
  31. And they could actually change through the election drastically and
  32. economic impact.
  33. Because no slavery means no free labor to bring in
  34. large amounts of crops to sell for a profit margins
  35. unimaginable. Excuse the Republican government.
  36. So at this point, the Republicans held the majority in
  37. the House and in the Senate, and Republicans at the
  38. time wanted to abolish slavery then, and they want it
  39. now. So during Reconstruction, they wanted the South to pay
  40. for their crimes of slavery.
  41. Because they held the majority.
  42. They could virtually pass a lot of things, but they
  43. primarily asked a couple of things Reconstruction Act, which set
  44. up five military zones in the South and had Union
  45. General's oversee.
  46. Um, this allowed for no military Overwatch in the South,
  47. which gave the north control, and it's at the requirements
  48. for Bree admission into the union, which states have to
  49. ratify the 14th Amendment and give suffrage to former adult
  50. male slaves.
  51. And this established authority amongst the Southern states that the
  52. North held the power socially.
  53. The South had very little say in the regulations set
  54. because they didn't have the numbers.
  55. And economically, the Republicans were there to make the South
  56. pay. So they were going to design their laws and
  57. regulations around crippling the suburbs.
  58. People's economy next one is Freedman's bureau.
  59. Freedman's bureau helped uneducated, unskilled, impoverished people, regardless of race
  60. or gender.
  61. It is that it was established by Congress on March
  62. 3rd, 18 65.
  63. It was headed by the union General Oliver, of How
  64. Howard and 40 acres of confiscated land would be given
  65. to former slaves to inhabit in different regions.
  66. Although this rarely happened socially, former slaves were gaining the
  67. knowledge and skills to eventually give way to becoming equal
  68. toe white and economically.
  69. Money has to be pumped into this, somehow leading to
  70. a more economic loss.
  71. So oh, I guess that's it.
  72. Well, then, that's Chapter 22.
  73. Question, too
